“OT Alex was super awesome during this whole process. For starters, he called me as soon as I reached out to him after failing my exam multiple times. Not only does he help you set a plan but he also helps you emotional and psychologically cope with failure and changes the mindset of how questions are interpreted. It eased alot of my anxiety feeling like I had someone in my corner that I could ask questions while studying. The first couple of times I took my exam I used NBCOT, therapy ed, pass the OT and AOTA prep course. I couldn’t the hang of reading and answering the questions based on how NBCOT wanted the answer to be interpreted vs how I was interpreting it. This tutor service was the missing piece that made the biggest difference in my ability to pass this exam. If you’re like me and your mind is your worst enemy, and you feel like you just can’t get whatever the last straw is to passing this exam you need to try this tutor!!!! He is not just an online tutor. He is available as a shoulder to learn on during the exam and is more of a mentor during the exam process than any of the other “tutor” like services that I have experienced. He broke the questions down with me and figured out why I specifically was getting the answers wrong, and that’s really what I needed. I just passed the exam on my 5th attempt, and I’m now an OT! I’m very happy with this tutor service.”

“ALEX IS THE BEST TUTOR!! I passed my exam and I truly could not have done it without him. When I reached out to Alex, I was at an extreme low and thought I would never become an OT, almost at the point of giving up. Alex spent over an hour with me on our initial phone call and made a plan with me for conquering this exam. He built my confidence up every session, and believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. On top of all the emotional support, he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to this exam and helped changed my thought process when it came to answering questions. He rewired my brain for how to think about each question and helped me learn effective test taking strategies that I used during my exam. He was patient, kind, and motivating throughout every session. After my exam Alex took the time to call me and talk me off the edge while I anxiously awaited my results, and then celebrated with me when I passed. If you’re thinking about working with Alex DO IT!! He truly cares about the students he works with and will set you up for success! You will not regret it. THANK YOU ALEX!”

“I finally passed my boards! Alex has been an amazing tutor, he is supportive and very encouraging. I had a lot of bumps in the road. He's always there when I have a question about something. I used his technique on how to answer the questions on the actual exam! Alex was really helpful during our 1:1 tutoring sessions. He really pin points what areas you might be having trouble with when answering questions. I liked that he was able to break down the questions. I would definitely recommend 1:1 tutoring & its affordable!”

“Studying with an almost 1yr old was doable and hard but something wasn't clicking and I wasn't retaining the information. I came across Alex and thought I'd give it a shoot. I started with a group lesson and was immediately sold and knew I needed to do 1 on 1 tutoring. He helped me become so prepared for the exam and I felt confident and ready to take it. I passed on my first attempt and it wasn't possible without Alex!! Highly recommend and it's worth it.”

“Working with Alex was a game changer in my journey to passing OT board exam. After struggling with multiple attempts, I reached out for tutoring, and it made all the difference. Alex not only challenged me to think critically about every question but also helped me develop a deeper understanding of the material by asking insightful questions and explaining things in a way that clicked for me. His approach to hand therapy, which I had a hard time grasping, was particularly helpful as he broke down complex concepts into manageable pieces. The resources he provided me were invaluable. I highly recommend Alex to anyone preparing for the boards!”

"I am beyond thankful for Alex. The 1:1 sessions allowed me to have a 40 point difference between my first and second test attempt. My biggest mistake was second-guessing myself. During this time, I had become discouraged and was no longer confident in the knowledge I knew. Alex provided me with the support I needed to get in the right mindset again. I enjoyed being able to practice similar NBCOT questions and collaborate together to formulate strategies to breakdown down. These sessions gave me the boost in confidence I needed. I look forward to more sessions as I come closer to becoming an OTR!"

“Alex at OT Helpline was such a blessing in a time of high stress and extreme pressure to pass the NBCOT. I am so thankful I found his services, they really helped me to not overthink or stress and he was very patient and supportive. His format was suited to my learning style and fit into my own study schedule seamlessly. I was also looking for something that wasn’t too $$ since I was already paying a lot for the test itself! I can’t thank Alex enough for the help and confidence boost when I needed it the most! And I can finally say I passed!!”

“Alex and I quickly built a strong rapport. He was compassionate and truly listened as I shared my experience of failing the NBCOT. Whenever I said, “if I pass,” he’d gently correct me—“when you pass.” He taught me to channel my anxiety into excitement, viewing each exam attempt as an opportunity to showcase my knowledge.

I especially remember how helpful his video on spinal cord injuries was. Alex had a unique ability to adapt his teaching to my needs, using visuals, acronyms, jingles, and videos. As a true OT, he upheld core principles—treating me with dignity, respect, and care. More than just addressing my struggles, he understood the psychological barriers affecting my confidence and always encouraged me in areas that needed improvement.

In OT school, a professor once told me, “Being an OT isn’t just about what you know—it’s about how you treat people, how you make them feel, and how you help them believe in themselves.” Alex embodied that wisdom. His kindness, patience, and unwavering belief in me helped me see my own potential. His expertise, combined with his genuine care, gave me the confidence and skills to pass.

Alex is too humble to acknowledge the profound impact he has had on countless aspiring OTs. But I can say with certainty that without him, I wouldn’t have gained the confidence and knowledge I needed to succeed. His guidance didn’t just help me pass the boards—it has shaped the therapist I’ve been for the past four years.

Alex and I became friends, and I’ll never forget meeting him in person while passing through his hometown. As always, he made time for me, and I finally got to thank him in person with a big hug for the life-changing support he gave me.

Thank you, Alex—you are a true educator, a kind soul, and an inspiration. I’m forever grateful for your impact on my journey.”

“THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I literally cannot thank you enough for all your help. You helped me tremendously on how to break down the questions and what to look for! That was literally the KEY that helped me pass the exam on my 3rd attempt. Your patience, knowledge, encouragement, quick responses and support during this process was so appreciative! You never let me feel silly for asking question! I remember messaging you that I failed the NBCOT the 2nd time and you provided me with encouragement and support! You told me we will try again and that I will pass the next time…AND I DEFINITELY DID!! You have continued to answer any questions I may have as a OTR now and for that I am thankful! Thank you so much Alex!!”

“I decided to do 1:1 sessions with Alex after scoring about 430-450 on practice exams. Alex was so patient and helped me understand not only the material but how to answer the question. He had so many tricks up his sleeve to help you remember and understand the material, too. Purchasing his 1:1 sessions was the greatest investment I could’ve done to pass this test and get it over with. It’s a brutal test but when you have support like Alex behind you— it’s reassuring. Even after the test, I messaged Alex thinking I totally bombed it. He was very supportive even after the test waiting for results. His sessions were truly helpful. I recommend his sessions to students all the time. I took a look at my weak areas and then would book a 1:1 session to go over that area. I felt more confident on the material after sessions with Alex. He made things click and connect which made it easier to take the OTR exam.”

“I just wanted to get on here and rave about Alex and how incredibly helpful and encouraging he was for me. He was extremely flexible with fitting me into his busy schedule to meet and talk through testing strategies and clarify any sticky topics. He also would take the time on his own time and answer any question if I was stuck on something or needed any advice during my studying. If anyone is on the fence about needing someone to help them prep for the NBCOT… ALEX is the only way to go!!!!! I honestly couldn’t have done it without him, especially with every snippet of encouragement and confidence-building along with his incredible knowledge!!! Alex, you’re the BEST!!!!”

“OT Alex played a crucial role in turning my NBCOT experience around. After failing my first exam, I lost confidence in both myself and my ability to become an OT. But Alex wasn’t just a tutor — he became a mentor. He helped me improve my test-taking strategies and, more importantly, rebuild my confidence. With his guidance, I felt prepared and empowered to take the exam again — and I passed! Alex was with me every step of the way, checking in regularly, sending supportive messages right before the exam, and even following up afterward. His unwavering support was a game changer, and I truly couldn't have done it without him.”

“If you’re looking for extra study support, Alex is a wonderful choice. He does a great job breaking down each question and teaching you which parts to focus on and which parts are there to “trip you up” or “add fluff.” This may seem like something that wouldn’t make that big of an impact on the actual exam, but it absolutely does and Alex does a great job teaching this skill. I was able to pass my exam on my first attempt and I can confidently say Alex played a huge role in that! Thank you, Alex!”

“I'm not gonna lie studying for tests is not my strong suit. I am a hands-on learner and do best with experiences. Alex did an excellent job breaking down questions so I could both remember it for the exam and use it in practice today! I highly recommend Alex for tutoring he connects with you and makes sure that you fully understand the topic that you are studying for!”

"Alex is amazing! I can’t say enough good things about him, he is down to earth & relatable and can help you break down information and questions in such a simple way. He helped me increase my score by 18 points & helped me to feel much more confident & relaxed on test day to pass. He was completely booked on his schedule for February & March but he did everything possible to fit me in for 2 sessions. He went above & beyond & they were exactly what I needed. I can’t thank him or recommend him enough! If you’re looking for a supportive & caring tutor, who truly cares about students, he is your guy. I couldn't have done it without help, and couldn't thank him enough!"

“Alex is an exceptional tutor who played a crucial role in my success on the NBCOT. I struggled with test-taking and initially scored 447 in February, but with his guidance, I improved to 505 by April. I felt so defeated and didn't think I had what it took. He not only provided me with the knowledge I needed but also taught me valuable test-taking strategies that helped me approach the exam with confidence. His ability to simplify complex topics and focus on what truly matters made a significant difference in my preparation. Alex is incredibly patient, supportive, and truly understands how to help students overcome their challenges. He is professional, but also is just like a friend to have someone to speak candidly to. He has been through this and knows what you are going through. I also highly recommend listening to his podcast, which provides great insights and helps ease your mind throughout the study process. His expertise and support are truly worth it—thank you so much for your help, I couldn’t have done it without you! To anyone preparing for the exam, stay persistent and trust the process—things will get easier, and you’ve got this!”

“Thankful for Alex and his tutoring strategies because I was able to better break down what the questions were asking versus overthinking my answer when they gave a lot of unnecessary information. He constantly reminded me that I knew the material and helped me not be so hard on myself. with the help of Alex, I increased my NBCOT score by 35 points, resulting in me passing.”

“Alex was incredible in helping me prepare for the NBCOT exam. His clear explanations and personalized approach made all the difference in boosting my confidence. He made sure to address my weaker areas and with his help, I felt well-prepared and passed the exam with ease. Highly recommend!”

“Alex is not just a tutor; he's a game-changer in the world of tutoring! From the moment I started working with him, I knew I was in good hands. His patience is truly remarkable - he never rushed me, always took the time to ensure I understood every concept thoroughly. What really sets Alex apart is his kindness. He's not just teaching for the sake of it; he genuinely cares about his students' progress and well-being. I've never felt embarrassed to ask a question or admit when I was struggling because Alex creates such a supportive environment.

“After struggling to pass the NBCOT exam on my first two attempts, I made the decision to invest in tutoring for my third attempt. Choosing Alex as my tutor was one of the best decisions I made in my journey to obtaining my license. Initially, I was hesitant, as there are many individuals and services that seem more focused on financial gain than on genuine student success. However, Alex demonstrated a sincere commitment to my success from the very start. Unlike other tutors, Alex took the time to understand me as an individual, assessing my strengths and weaknesses, and tailoring his approach to meet my unique needs. Throughout the process, Alex was consistently available to answer questions and provide guidance. His dedication and support were unwavering, and his personalized approach gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. Thanks to Alex, I not only passed the NBCOT exam but scored well beyond a 450. I truly believe that Alex has a passion for helping others succeed, and it is this passion that sets him apart from others in the field. I highly recommend his tutoring services to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor!”

“After struggling to pass my exam after three attempts - I was trying to find the answer on how I would pass my NBCOT. I started to lose hope and started to wonder if I’d ever pass. Through the support of my loved ones, OT Alex and faith- I started to gain some hope again. I started to listen to OT helpline his podcast about struggling to pass the NBCOT and learned about his experience with the exam and his passion to help others pass. I then found out about his tutoring services. Alex demonstrated true dedication to my success since I first met him. Unlike any other tutoring service or study book, Alex took time to get to know my strengths and areas of improvement and catered tutoring towards my specific needs both academically and just with my overall wellbeing. He was very patient, kind, helpful motivating and honestly so genuine. I can’t thank Alex enough for his support academically but also emotionally and psychologically during the NBCOT. You’ve been so helpful during this whole process Alex, you truly were a lifesaver ! Much appreciation.”

“The first time I met Alex was in the heart of the pandemic, March 2020. Exam prep resources were scarce up until 2020 and everything was a bit of a chaos with exam dates moving around every other week. During the most uncertain time we were living in, Alex brought hope to all the OT students who were preparing hard for the NBCOT exam. He brought the OT community together and delivered mini presentations and group discussions on various topics via Zoom platform for free, so all students can have the confidence to pass the exam! Alex is not only knowledgable in the subject matter, but he also has the patience to listen through his students’ challenges with passing the exam. The OT Helpline podcast series and resources have set a positive impact on my journey to pass the exam! I highly recommend Alex as he is always available to answer questions and provide the support one might need as they go through this journey!”

“I don’t even know where to start! I am incredibly grateful to Alex for helping me pass the NBCOT. He was patient, caring, kind, and supportive throughout our sessions. Not only was he a tutor, he was a friend! That helped me build my confidence, and I was always there when in doubt or anxious about taking the boards since I had taken it a couple of times. However, the good news is that I finally passed, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Alex for it. Our session consisted of breaking down the question, using clinical reasoning, eliminating the answers that didn’t fit the question, explaining why, reviewing materials, and working on time management. He is highly knowledgeable and passionate about helping you succeed! Thank you Alex!!”

“Alex was my tutor for the occupational therapy assistant exam. I remember studying for hours a day and was struggling with what resources to use when I came across Alex's information. He helped me prepare by providing me with materials and videos on the topics I was struggling with. Alex also provided one-to-one support during virtual meetings that I was able to set up easily online over the areas I felt were challenging. All the information can be overwhelming when studying so it was nice to have someone who is so knowledgeable on what is important to focus on to pass the exam. He allowed me to feel more confident and knowledgeable about the information I needed to know. I was able to pass my exam on the first try thanks to Alex and recommend him if you are studying for the OTA/OT exam.”
